NOTHING TOWARD KEEPING HER WARM.
But that isn't what it is for. She sports a
hat like a grenadier's shake, that given her
quite a military air, and when she sails
down upon you from distance you think
of the march Of the Aluazons or some other
striking feature of the reigning drama.
She is blonde as TO her hair, but her
eyes and eyebrows are dark, and her com

other, she has caught the Elusive secret of
making up so as to have that lndefinable,
but unmistakable, appearance peculiar to the
profession. and she works it. You never
catch her flirting on the street. She walks
along with her head in the air and eyes

you can see that l am an actress. [ would
avoid attracting attention if | could. but

people that distinguishes US from ordinary
folks. and really [ can't help it. But if
everybody does not look at me, l am re-

better looking than some of the other girls
she attracted the notice of the critical

theater for an engagement. Her stage
qualifications were few thin songs. two or
three easy dance steps and wardrobe of
scant skirts. and, she got all engagement
and earns her money with less trouble than
she could il any other calling. The biggest
part of her salary evidently goes into the
clothes in which she acts the actress on the
promenade.
